SA Going to NZ Advice Forum

One of the things I like about NZ is that in general, people value life. When someone dies prematurely in town, it often makes the papers and people seem genuinely concerned or saddened by it (memorials, community services, etc). You don't always find that in many countries in the world.

According to a dispute resolution lawyer, "An eye for eye makes person blind". No place on the world is crime free. Cops were no longer needed if NZ would be a non-offense nation. But I can say, crime ratio in NZ is negligible compared to many nations.
